Препарат Метронидазол. ЗАО ПФК "Обновление" Россия



General characteristics. Structure:

Active ingredient: 0,25 g of metronidazole.

Excipients: potato starch, stearic acid, talc.




Pharmacological properties:

Pharmacodynamics. Antiprotozoan and antimicrobic drug, derivative 5 nitroimidazoles. The mechanism of action consists in biochemical recovery 5 nitrogroups intracellular transport proteins of anaerobic microorganisms and protozoa. The recovered 5 nitrogroup interacts with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a cell of microorganisms, inhibiting synthesis of their nucleic acids that leads to death of bacteria.

Entamoeba histolytica, Gardnerella vaginalis, Giardia intestinalis, Lamblia spp is active concerning Trichomonas vaginalis., and also strict anaerobes of Bacteroides spp. (including Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides vulgatus), Fusobacterium spp., Veillonella spp., Prevotella (P.bivia, P.buccae, P.disiens), and some gram-positive microorganisms (Eubacterium spp., Clostridium spp., Peptococcus spp., Peptostreptococcus spp.). The minimum overwhelming concentration for these strains makes 0,125-6,25 mkg/ml.

In combination with amoxicillin shows activity concerning Helicobacter pylori (amoxicillin suppresses development of resistance to metronidazole).

Aerobic microorganisms and facultative anaerobes, but in the presence of the mixed flora are not sensitive to metronidazole (aerobes and anaerobe bacterias) metronidazole works synergy with antibiotics, effective against usual aerobes.
Increases sensitivity of tumors to radiation, causes a sensitization to alcohol (disulfiramopodobny action), stimulates reparative processes.

Pharmacokinetics. Absorption high (bioavailability not less than 80%). Has high penetration, reaching bactericidal concentration in the majority of fabrics and liquids of an organism, including lungs, kidneys, a liver, skin, cerebrospinal fluid, a brain, bile, saliva, amniotic liquid, cavities of abscesses, a vaginal secret, semen, breast milk. Gets through a blood-brain and placental barrier. Distribution volume: adult about 0,55 l/kg, newborn - 0,54-0,81 l/kg.

The maximum concentration of drug in blood (Cmax) makes from 6 to 40 mkg/ml depending on a dose. Time of achievement of the maximum concentration (TCmax) of 1-3 h. Communication with proteins of plasma of 10-20%.

In an organism about 30-60% of metronidazole by a hydroxylation, oxidations and a glyukuronirovaniye are metabolized. The main metabolite (2 oxymetronidazole) also has antiprotozoan and antimicrobic effect.

Elimination half-life (T1/2) at normal function of a liver of 8 h (from 6 to 12 h), at alcoholic damage of a liver of 18 h (from 10 to 29 h), at newborns: 28-30 weeks about 75 h which were born at duration of gestation, respectively, 32-35 weeks 35 h, 36-40 weeks 25 h. It is removed to kidneys of 60-80% (20% in not changed look), through intestines of 6-15%.

Renal clearance of 10,2 ml/min. At patients with a renal failure after repeated introduction the metronidazole kumulirovaniye in blood serum can be observed (therefore at patients with a heavy renal failure the frequency of reception should be reduced).

Metronidazole and the main metabolites quickly are removed from blood at a hemodialysis (T1/2 is reduced to 2,6 h). At peritoneal dialysis it is removed in insignificant quantities.

Inside, in time or after food, (or washing down with milk), without chewing. At trichomoniasis on 250 mg 2 times a day within 10 days or on 400 mg 2 times a day within 5-8 days. Women need to appoint in addition metronidazole in the form of vaginal candles or tablets. If necessary, it is possible to repeat a course of treatment or to raise a dose to 0,75-1 g/days. Between courses it is necessary to take a break in 3-4 weeks with carrying out repeated control laboratory researches. The alternative scheme of therapy is appointment on 2 g once to the patient and his sexual partner.

Features of use:

During treatment ethanol reception is contraindicated (possibly development of disulfiramopodobny reaction: spastic abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting, a headache, sudden rush of blood to the person).

In a combination with amoxicillin it is not recommended to apply at patients more young than 18 years. At long therapy it is necessary to control a blood pattern.

At a leukopenia the possibility of continuation of treatment depends on risk of development of infectious process.

Emergence of an ataxy, dizziness and any other deterioration in the neurologic status of patients demands the treatment termination.

Can immobilize treponemas and lead to the false positive test of Nelson.

Paints urine in dark color. At treatment of a mecotic vaginitis at women and a mecotic urethritis at men it is necessary to abstain from sex life. Simultaneous treatment of sexual partners is obligatory. Treatment does not stop during periods. After therapy of trichomoniasis it is necessary to carry out control tests during three next cycles before and after periods.

After treatment of a lambliasis if symptoms remain, in 3-4 weeks to carry out 3 analyses a bucketed calla in several days (some successfully treated patients have a lactose intolerance caused by an invasion, can remain within several weeks or months, reminding lambliasis symptoms).

In the period of a lactation it is recommended to stop breastfeeding.


Side effects:

From the alimentary system: diarrhea, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, intestinal colic, locks, "metal" smack in a mouth, dryness in a mouth, a glossitis, stomatitis, pancreatitis.

From a nervous system: dizziness, incoordination of movements, ataxy, confusion of consciousness, irritability, depression, hypererethism, weakness, sleeplessness, headache, spasms, hallucinations, peripheral neuropathy.

Allergic reactions: urticaria, skin rash, dermahemia, nose congestion, fever, arthralgias.

From urinogenital system: a dysuria, cystitis, a polyuria, an urine incontience, candidiasis, coloring of urine in red-brown color.

Others: a neutropenia, a leukopenia, flattening of a tooth of T on the electrocardiogram.


Interaction with other medicines:

Strengthens effect of indirect anticoagulants that leads to increase in time of formation of a prothrombin.

Similar to Disulfiramum, causes intolerance of ethanol. Simultaneous use with Disulfiramum can lead to development of various neurologic symptoms (an interval between appointment not less than 2 weeks).

Cimetidinum inhibits metronidazole metabolism that can lead to increase in its concentration in blood serum and to increase in risk of development of by-effects.

Co-administration of the drugs stimulating enzymes of a microsomal oxidation in a liver (phenobarbital, Phenytoinum) can accelerate metronidazole elimination therefore its concentration in plasma goes down.

At a concomitant use with lithium drugs, concentration of the last in plasma and development of symptoms of intoxication can increase.

It is not recommended to combine with not depolarizing muscle relaxants (a vekuroniya bromide).

Streptocides strengthen antimicrobic effect of metronidazole.
